I love the design of your landing page, but the app itself is kind of blah looking. It would be nice to see some of that design carried through to the app.

In terms of the app, what I was really looking for as I scrolled down is something that could give me insight into managing and maintaining my home. For example, if I gave you some general information about my house and its geographic location, you could keep me up to date on preventative maintenance that I should be doing each season. And, maybe provide me with a way to connect to an expert if I had questions about a problem.

+1 for a focused app. There must be several apps that will accomplish each of those individual things, wishlists, google drive, count less to-do apps....but what this does is bring together these generic functionalities for a single purpose. I feel there's lot of potential for more such focused, simple applications.

Thanks! I built the application for myself. I had just bought a new house and really wanted a simple application that accomplished these three features. I figured I could use various applications to accomplish these things but I feel like Furnace brings it all together and a single house supports multiple users so I can collaborate with my wife.

Oh "Honey Do List" is a very funny and sweet choice of name.
